Cactus to Clouds Through Hike

About This Trail

Okay, this is killer. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. From the trailhead behind the Museum lot in Palm Springs, take Museum trail up, up, up. Continue past picnic tables to junction with N. Lykken, turn right. Take Skyline (left). This goes on, and up, for, like, ever. It seems. Finally, you follow the road to the tram station. If you are sensible, you will take the tram back down the mountain. We won’t tell. Otherwise, you must get a permit from the Ranger to continue on. Take the Round Valley trail, straight onto the Wellman Divide trail; at the junction, turn right on Wellman, and continue up to San Jacinto Peak. Now, return to the tram station and ride back down the mountain. Definite bragging rights.
